While the Phillies have had good luck against Alcantara, it’s sad to see him struggle after Tommy John surgery. I hope he can recapture his Cy Young form. It’s good for the game.
Hmmm. I get someone being competitive and wanting to stay in the game. OTOH, spazzing out isn’t a good response. I doubt we’ll ever know what he said or who he said it to. Maybe behind the scenes Thomson felt the team wasn’t as focused as it should be and saw an opportunity to get everyone pulling in the same direction. After all, there is only one boss in the dugout.
